2084 Interrogation

Creak—

The door that had been quiet for a long time finally had a sound.

Shangguan Jing and the rest, who were waiting outside, immediately perked up and looked over.

The door opened slowly, and a tall figure came out from within—it was Rong Xiu!

!!

Behind him, Chu Liuyue’s figure came into view.

“Yue’er!” Shangguan Jing was elated. He quickly walked up and seriously sized the two of them up. “How are you?”

Chu Liuyue smiled and said, “Ancestor, don’t worry. Everything is fine.”

The surrounding atmosphere instantly became strange.

Quite a few people secretly exchanged glances. Does this mean… she has already successfully received Tang Ke’s legacy? After all, she won that competition, and Tang Ke clearly admired her. It’s understandable that he would give her something.

This also means that in the future, she will very likely break through to become an Armory Refinement Saint!

With another Shangguan Jing… This entire family would be invincible!

Shangguan Jing was also excited. “That’s great! That’s great!”

I knew that Yue’er could definitely do it!

After a moment, someone in the crowd finally asked boldly, “May I ask His Grace and Master Yue how Senior Tang Ke is now?”

They are out, then… What about Tang Ke? He still has a soul left behind…

Chu Liuyue looked at the person who asked the question and smiled straightforwardly. “Senior Tang Ke said that he was already used to staying here. Now that everything has ended, he’ll completely seal this place and won’t appear again.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd was first shocked before feeling regretful. This meant that they wouldn’t have a chance to ask him for guidance.

Rong Xiu’s gaze swept across the crowd as he squinted slightly. “Master Wei is not around?”

Hearing him say this, Chu Liuyue then discovered that Wei Ze was indeed not here. That’s weird. With Wei Ze’s temperament and habits, he shouldn’t leave before we come out.

Shangguan Jing explained, “Three days ago, someone from the Wei family came, saying that they had something urgent for him to handle. Thus, he brought the few of them and left.”

Rong Xiu smiled. “I see. It seems like Master Wei is extremely busy.”

A thought popped up in Chu Liuyue’s mind, and the corner of her lips curled up slightly. “Originally, I planned to bid Master Wei farewell. But it now seems like it isn’t a good idea to disturb him. Since this is so, we’ll leave first. If we have fate in the future, we’ll meet again.”

She wanted to leave.

Upon hearing this, quite a few people felt empty.

Everyone came with hopes. Now that they did not get anything, they naturally felt that it was a pity.

But since she wanted to leave, they could not stop her.

Besides, after this incident, Chu Liuyue—who received Tang Ke’s legacy—would definitely have a bright future. Having a good relationship with her was definitely better than making her an enemy.

Immediately, quite a few people bade them farewell happily and politely.

Chu Liuyue accepted all of them and bade them farewell with a smile.

After all the struggles, they finally left.

Only when their figures completely disappeared did the remaining crowd slowly leave.

…

At the Yi family.

Inside the study, Jun Jiuqing sat behind the desk, looking at something.

A figure quickly came in.

It was Yi Wenzhuo.

He directly went to the door and waved at the two guards who wanted to bow. “You’re dismissed. I have something to talk to Jiuqing about.”

The two guards exchanged glances. “Well…”

Without the master’s command, they did not dare to leave on their own. Even if this person was Yi Wenzhuo.

At this point, Jun Jiuqing’s voice came from within the room. “You all are dismissed.”

Hearing this, the two of them immediately heaved a sigh of relief. After acknowledging it respectfully, they left.

Yi Wenzhuo walked in. After locking the door and confirming that there was nobody else around, he stared at Jun Jiuqing sitting in the room.

His calm expression cracked slightly, as if he was enduring something.

Jun Jiuqing looked over, smiled, and asked, “Mentor, why did you come over at this time?”

Yi Wenzhuo silently walked to his side and looked at him with a complicated gaze.

That gaze seemed suspicious yet inspective.

After a long while, he asked, “Big Brother’s death… Is it related to you?”

This ‘Big Brother’ was naturally referring to Yi Wentao.

Jun Jiuqing’s smile faded slightly, as he asked in shock, “Mentor, why did you say this?”

“I heard that the only person he saw before he died was you.” Yi Wenzhuo stared at him tightly and clenched his fists in his sleeves tightly. “Jiuqing, do you dare say that you have nothing to do with this at all?”

Jun Jiuqing paused and then replied, “That’s right. I did find Master that day. That’s because one of the subordinates said that he refused to take his medicine, so I wanted to go over and convince him. It was a pity that Master’s cultivation was over, and he no longer had the will to continue living. He chose to explode himself because he couldn’t accept the fact that he already became a good-for-nothing. Such days made him hopeless, and he would rather die.”

“Mentor, someone like Master was proud his whole life. It’s the most normal for him to make such a decision, right?” Jun Jiuqing’s voice was calm. However, every single word was very sharp.

Yi Wenzhuo knitted his brows tightly. He had to admit that Jun Jiuqing’s words made a lot of sense, but… he still felt that something was wrong.

Yi Wenzhuo stared at Jun Jiuqing closely, as if he wanted to see any hints from the latter’s face. However, he couldn’t discern anything at all.

...

Yi Wenzhuo then shockingly realized that he could not see through Jun Jiuqing!

He took a deep breath and finally asked, “Even so, then… How do you explain the Wei family’s incident?”
